Creating Excellence Through Insight

Develop your leaders into exceptional achievers. Investing in individuals fosters both commitment and growth, and is an essential component of brightening your future as a company. Added Insight can help you develop appropriate and effective development plans by providing knowledge, insight, and advice.

Individual Development

Knowledge - 360° Surveys

The first step in any change process will always need to be knowledge. Individuals need to have a clear understanding of their strengths and development needs in order to know what areas to focus on. The most effective way to achieve this is by seeking feedback from the people they interact with on a daily basis.

360° Surveys are a cost effective, valid, and objective way in which to gather relevant information on a person's effect on those around them as well as the wider organisation.

Insight - Personality Profiling

Personality profiles can be an effective tool to gain deeper insight into a person's natural ways of behaving. Especially when combined with 360° Surveys, personality profiles can foster a better understanding of how and why others may perceive someone in a certain way.

Our Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) provides an overview of normal, everyday work behaviours. The HPI examines seven different personality traits and their potential positive and negative effects on a person's performance. This tool can be used to confirm and explain findings from a 360° Survey, or highlight important differences between internal and external perceptions.

Our Hogan Development Survey (HDS) outlines a person's "dark side". By highlighting risk factors for negative behaviours, the HDS focuses development on those areas with the highest potential to damage a person's work relationships and performance.

Hogan Assessment reports will:

Provide an overview of defining personality characteristics and risk factors
Provide behavioural and leadership implications
Provide relevant development recommendations

Advice - Expert Feedback and Coaching

We pride ourselves on providing expert verbal feedback to help individuals clarify meaning from their reports. With our extensive experience in integrating information from different assessments, we can help create individualised and relevant development plans.

Organisational Development

Exit Interviews

Exit interviews can be used to gain information on why employees leave the organisation. The information can then be used to help improve current practices for retention and future recruitment purposes. Exit interviews can be conducted in person, over the phone, and as a web survey. Phone interviews are recommended as a good match of ease to administer and ability to get in-depth, accurate feedback.

An opportunity to address misunderstandings or issues
Opportunity for exiting employees for their voice to be heard in a confidential environment
Conducted correctly; can create ex-employees who are good brand builders

Information from exiting employees is useful for future recruitment and retention strategies
